Copyright, 1857. by Tie California issoeiated Press
WASHINGTON, December 15h.-Attornev
General Garland this morning sent tc
President Cleveland the report of Special
Agent Chalmers on his Investigation of the
United States judicial affairs in California
Inc President the Attorney General, Rep

Chalmers are the only persons who have
seen the report. 1t hss not been given 10
the public, and both the President and Al.
torney- General refuse for the present 10
consent to It's publication. Chalmers has
talked about bis report in a manner that
enables shrewd guess to be made as to its
contents, bur the document itself cannot
be obtained.
In the first place, the accounts of the
Federal Judicial officers of the coast have
been ascertained to be absolutely correct
Chalmers has, however, made report
which lnvolVes-if not the integrity-at
least the competency Of the United States
District Attorney and Judges SAWYER and

competent, and not to have administered
his office in capable manner.
Inc District Attorney has written to

and answer any and all charges thai NAV
be laid against him. He intimatcs that
the opposition with which he is oblsed to
contend has been inspired by poli,ica! en-.
emies, and is the outcome of the old Stock.
ton Convention fight.
So far as the charges affecting Judge:
Sawyer and Holman are concerned. Chal
mers tells what he knows and has been in
formed OF the fees obtained as result O
the habeas corpus cases before the United
States Courts in San Francisco. Thes,
judges, in their recent statement given t.

Judges say, 1860 Chinese left The country
